Hi! I was born in Boston, grew up outside DC and was forced to go to private parochial school until high school when I transferred to public school and went to Montgomery Blair in Silver Spring, a science/math/engineering magnet school. In high school I focused on engineering/breadboards (we had an awful CNC I never used, sadly; US first robotics; I built a sonar hat prototype for the blind back in 1999), photography/photoshop, graphics (illustrator, macromedia flash and macromedia shockwave and macromedia dreamweaver 1999-2003; flash actually was lite and didn't suck donkey you-know-whats back then; 3dsmax, blender and maya) and programming (lisp, pascal, c, cpp, open gl, java, javascript). I went to Brandeis for computer science then switched to environmental law with women's studies and art minors. I went to Tufts School of Medicine for a M.Sc. in biomedical science, did some research at NIH and Harvard to improve my resume and went to Albany Medical College for MD. Wasn't for me. I'm technically on sabbatical between third and fourth year, and might finish some day. I've also been teaching and private-tutoring for Kaplan for some time now, all the way from teaching 5 year olds the alphabet, reading and math to SAT to AP tests to college classes (mostly writing, all maths and all sciences) and the MCAT/LSAT/GMAT/GRE. I joined mensa and 999 for kicks but didn't keep up with either very much, aside from a few friendships.

I joined mensa and 999 for kicks but didn't keep up with either very much, aside from a few cool friendships. I'm the permanent minister of existentialism for the micronation of Ladonia since its founding in 1996 (though I don't keep up much lately since membership has ballooned from 15 friends who know each other intimately and built everything together from the ground up to 400 people who don't know each other. Some pun/reference intended)
I've always enjoyed recycling, art, learning new techniques and tools every day, teaching and charity/giving things away. I love www.couchsurfing.com and www.freecycle.com and find the movements inspiring. The world is an awesome place - there are tons of super cool people out there! Back when I was 16 I made a B&W/color palm pilot user interface skin and a small game for PC's and gave the full versions away free as "donate-ware", give what you want if you can, and made thousands. I'm trying the same concept with my life now. I'm going to teach, volunteer, make art (hopefully large scale recycled and lasercut and LED-lit/solar metalworks on schools and in parks etc) and give everything away free, produce tons of content, and live cheaply paying my own expenses with occasional sold art; I'm going to solicit donations to support my artwork and charity but never my own expenses.
